The timing of the appeal is UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE... Asking for a delay in the Cadman libel trial but filing for appeal in to the Gomery findings against Chretien... These guys are masters in the Rove vein....

Sad that some either condone or aren't smart enough to see through it.

From your link: "Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland ultimately agreed that the hearing can't proceed until the experts have reported on the tape's authenticity. He said he'll set a deadline for the reports after mulling over both sides' arguments."

Do you have a problem with that?

By the way, "Dearden said he was stunned by Paliare's charges and warned that the lawyer's conduct could result in the Liberal party having to pay even more should they lose the defamation suit.

"In a libel action, the conduct of the defendant's counsel and the conduct of the defendants can go to the issue of aggravated damages," he said."

ahhh yeah. In order for him to agree, it had to have been brought forward. I'm not disputing the legality of any of it, just the opportune timing. But you knew that.

I realized that you are not disputing legality of the decision. In my view you are trying to question the common sence, the very simple reason why the judge found the delay necessary. The timing is just a coincidense, a milestone set when nobody expected the election.

Nevertheless, I somehow agree with you on your first point, i.e., appeal on Gomery case. Again, nothing wrong, but a flavour of some deliberate action can be felt, if there is adesire to feel it. On the other hand it can be typical bureaucratic inertia...

come on, this is all about controlling the messages that we hear, what we hear and when we hear it, it's Rovian and brilliant.

IF it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.....It must be a Republican.

Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so in that light the current American administration must be blushing with pride at the sight of Harper's campaign.

Harper differed with his party on some key policy issues; in 1995, for example, he was one of only two Reform MPs to vote in favour of federal legislation requiring owners to register their guns.

(Stephen Harper, Report Newsmagazine, January 22, 2001)
